But at the beginning of the episode, you see Riker playing:
> ETANA: Concentrate. Make the disc go into the cone.
> RIKER: How do I do that?
> ETANA: Just let go. Relax. You'll do it.

You could make the argument that everyone misses their first shot for no other reason than that it gives them a false feeling of accomplishment when they make the second one.
But it would make more sense to say that victory in the game comes from assuming a particular state of mind, presumably one that allows the game to do its thing.
You don't need to "let the game happen" for an autoplaying game to play itself.
